I don't understand the comments in this thread, why would anyone want their laptops to act like their mobile devices? They have less privacy and they're harder to control. Am I missing something?

What you are talking about is the operating system, not the cpu.

The ARM architecture allows much more performance for less power when compared to AMD64, because it runs simpler instructions.

The change to ARM chips on laptops will not make them work like phones, with the exception of much better standby.

I'm obviously not techy, but when I was looking for a tablet, I was told I want a laptop or a 2 in 1 and I didn't want the ARM architecture because that's like mobile. I got a 2 in 1 tablet and they were right that I love it, so that's why I was asking.

what does that have to do with the ISA your CPU uses?
